This salad is colorful and pretty! I keep buying pomegrante airls and I have to keep throwing them out. I have all the best intentions of using them, but I never do, so stupid! I had fennel for the first time this fall, and I love it, tastes like black licorice, but my family didn’t care for it. I’m book marking this recipe so I can make a big batch for lunches!

Quinoa is my new favourite ingredient. I’m cooking with it all the time. I think it works really well in salads. Your salad is so pretty with the pomegranate seeds. They give such a vibrant colour to the salad. I will make this!

What a unique combination of ingredients! I almost never cook with fennel in the first place, and certainly wouldn’t have thought to pair it with pomegranate. Sounds like an excellent winter dish, though, especially with that quinoa. Who doesn’t like quinoa, after all?
